Femme,

Thanks again.

Now I see what md5summer can do -- it's interesting and helpful under
some circumstances, but is not quite what I was looking for (under
Windows).  md5summer can calculate the md5sums for every file in a
directory or on a disk (and save them to a file), but cannot (AFAICT)
calculate one master md5sum for an entire burnt cdrom.  (As I can do
under Linux using something like md5sum /dev/cdrom.)

I guess what I could do is run md5summer on all the files on a cdrom,
store the results in a file, then run md5sum(mer) on the resulting
file.  Presumably I could find software to do the same thing in Linux
(because part of what I want is a Linux / Windows independent way of
generating an md5sum for a burnt cdrom.  (In other words, a calculation
that can be performed in Windows or in Linux and develop the same
result.)

Randy Kramer
